<p>too early to bumb?</p>
<p>Could someone please chance me here??</p>
<p>UNC and State are real possibilities…maybe not JHU. I’m not sure about the rest of them</p>
<p>So you think that jhu is OUT of reach?</p>
<p>Well first off what major are you applying for since it makes a difference at JHU? Secondly, you don’t have stellar ec’s (just to be frank, not mean) your sat’s are fine but really it is your not great ec’s that are bringing you down, if I were you I’d make sure to make my college essay something exciting and original to show that you do non curricular actives. Since at JHU and other top tier schools everyone has a great gpa and sats, so you need to do something else to make your application better.</p>
<p>Totally understandable. I specified I was applying for physics in my first post. I will try to highlight some exciting aspect about myself in my essays, but is good to know that I am at least in the running.</p>
<p>You’re GPA is pretty good, assuming you had a rigorous course load. Maybe your SAT needs to be a little higher for JHU, though. I think your ec’s are pretty decent, too.</p>
<p>JHU- reach
BC- low reach
Rochester- high match
UNC- high match since you’re in-state
Conn College/NC State- safety</p>
<p>Chance me???</p>
